Who will be the first inductee?

I was surprised that Hamilton came in as high as he did with his injuries the last few years.

Webb was a beast, but Bob Jefferson had a great career as well.

LF Jason Sexton will be the first and probably only HOF player that will make it in on his first year of voting!!
CL Xian-yao Jiang will be a close second with over 500 saves and 3 world series rings.

 

[tglg]

Jiang currently has 4 World Series rings. Hoping that some day he returns to the A's and retires in Oakland. And hopefully has at least 600 saves, if not 700.

Hopefully the hall will not be bias toward a relief pitcher. He has some crazy career stats. You should have the best chance to sign him, given his exorbant asking price, and the fact you have no draft pick loss resigning your own.

Been trying, but he doesn't seem to want to budge. Although, he did have a ratings drop off for this year and his velocity and pitches dropped as well. Still, would welcome him back to Oakland, but going to move forward with other options.

Go Dane Keogh!

Thought Webb would come in higher than 40%.

 

[chaplain11]

I still can't believe no one has been elected. Cooperstown must be a ghost town at this point.

It is a sample size issue for careers. We have ran 07-2019, so the longest career can be 12 seasons accrued at this point. When you consider many started league halfway into primes and others had to develop part of the time, i am not that surprised how it has gone so far. The first players that were true rookies (young) and got a full career of productive at bats, should have an easier route in
